Based on the comparison of DNA, the animals most closely related to humans are Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, and Oranutans. Of those, the Chimpanzee has the least variation from Human
DNA.

Are humans a form of bacteria?

Humans and bacteria are related in the same way that all living things are related in that we all evolved from a common ancestor or a group of closely related ancestors. Humans and bacteria share the same genetic code as well as having many closely related genes that produce very similar protein products. For example, the genes that produce the proteins involved energy production are very similar between humans and bacteria, as well as the genes involved in the formation of many of the same basic biomolecules such as amino acids and nucleic acids.
